Default Exhaust Issue

Hey all, I have a strange problem I cannot see any exhaust out of the passenger tail pipe. I have 3 inch midpipes with no crossover and new mufflers. The tailpipes are however stock, This problem is so noticeable that I got into an argument trying to prove my car had dual exhaust. Anyone have a idea??

TO be honest, you cant see exhaust unless you have bad valve seals or something causing it to smoke a little bit or condensation.

I don't think I can see any exhaust when temps are above 20celcius so I think I am fine. But when cold I see it out of the drivers only. Alot of the time there is some water dripping from the pipe aswell. I have no overheating issues and oil level has never increased.

When I put my hand under the pipes the drivers side is hauling more out. The exhaust is grayish whiteish looks like everyone else's exhaust around my part.

Did you put the muffler on with the flow in the right direction?

It was like it when I bought the car I am assuming it would be correct because It seems like a prefessional install the pipes were bent by a shop for sure everything is welded from the hedders back. An exhaust leak just occured to me I am going to go check.

Bingo, I have A big leak after the pass muffler and a small one after the drivers muffler. It appears as if the weld has cracked but the tailpipes are original so it could be rust as well I suppose.
